Original cross sills restored and sealed.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

That's awesome work. What color shade of red did you use?

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I put LED lights in my Cargo Lamp that I converted to a a Third Brake Light. It looks and works great.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Something as simple as lights feel sooo good. Also finished installing rear suspension. Rear wiring harness. 3 5 drop for now. Set timing. Moved it around for the first time. Turn downs due makes things dusty.

I really like the color, it has a red and orange hue with a pearl in it to give the transparent look from factory
Thanks I did look funny buying nail polish but it's perfect

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

66Clow your drop looks good. What tire sizes do you have on in the pictures. Looks perfect man. I'm thinking of the same drop. Did you uses ECE? Spindles/springs/shocks? Is your drives haft close to the cross member? Thanks in advance I'd like to do this soon.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Went to take my daughter for a ride this weekend, engine turned over, and then starter wasn't turning the flex plate. Looked under the truck and found this. Seems to be a common problem with the aftermarket PMGR starters. Tried installing a replacement from Napa and it was bad out of the box so I spent $3.60 on 3 new machine screws to mount the starter to the mounting flange (thanks to some great comments on the Summit site). I'm really glad this happened in my driveway and not 60 miles from home!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Thanks, CPP springs and shocks. 3 5. Tires are 235/75/15. The drive shaft is right down the middle of the hole. I want to put on spindles and blocks to go 5.5 and 7. I did use the old lower rear shock mount brackets to get another 1/2 inch. So it is actually 5.5 rear. Not pretty but it was a free .5. Will do a notch as well.

Getting ready to start the rust repair, removed the bed today at work. Drove it home about 8 miles on the city streets with my make shift tail lights. Fully functional of course.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I added some lights to mine!
One on each door.:chevy:

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I broke it.

On the way home from work, I heard a hissing sound, and soon the power steering wasn't. Popped the hood to find the expected spray of fluid in the front left corner. I man-handled him home, and now I have to refill the pump to see where the leak is. I *think* its a hose and *hope-and-pray* it's not the box.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Got a call from the woman to tell me I have 5 big boxes sitting in the living room waiting on me to get home this weekend... :metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Bought some new shocks to install this coming week

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

When I could not get enough hood to fender gap(on passenger side) with my aftermarket hood,decent gap on driver's side I put a hopeful ad on Craigslist.Jim not only had an hood in excellent shape but drove over an hour to deliver it,so I learned that when you get disgusted and don't know what to do next---it is going to work out.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Finally got brake fluid squirting from all four corners on my K10. Found the rear flex line had collapsed inside--likely original. Some more bleeding to do to get it right as the master cover (rebuilt unit) leaked so I used the old one.

Also installed the new glove box insert and will be doing the door and window seals as well as some other small items.

Pertronix is next.....

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

That is cool! I have never seen that done before.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

That is way cool. One of the best lighting mods I have ever seen.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Can you post a wide angle shot I can't see exactly what you did? Thanks

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

You drill a hole in the bottom of the door and run the hot wire to a constant 12 volts. Then the ground to the door jam ground so when you shut the door it turns off. The flash washed it out.
I bought them off E Bay!
Here is his add.
Takes about a week and half to get them.:chevy:

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I see now pretty cool. Thanks I got a lot more to do before I get to those details. But nice.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Hey guys!

I just made a post on the thread about my truck;

I will get more photos soon!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Started the tear down, no big surprises yet. The speaker holes behind the seat really irritate me. Need to get the fuel tank out and weld in some braces.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Yesterday, I took a broken header off. Today, I put one new one in, along with replacing the fuel pump and filter. (There's nothing like getting a gasoline bath right before supper!:banghead:). Tomorrow, finish up the other header and put a new temp sending unit in. Pretty fruitful weekend, so far:metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Fit the new grille, mocked up some radiator brackets, and sat the bed back on the frame to get an idea on how Im going to do the fuel fill with the Boyd tank and stripped the driver side of the bed and uncovered quite a bit of work its gonna take to get it straight. No rust hidden under all that paint and bondo though.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Got the headers finished, temp sender in, and one wheelwell. I'll finish it up tomorrow. Still have to replace some fuel line. Sorry for the blurry pic. Next week I'll start on the inside. I'll keep y'all posted

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Got the final block done on the cab of "Raymond... moving to the bed this week... Hoping to go to paint with the cab and bed next weekend...

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Got to take mine on a road test and drove it about 120 miles to San Antonio.
I finished my transmission swap about two weeks ago and I'm loving the overdrive.
I put a 200-4r in and cruise at about 2250 rpm to do 75 mph.
Glad to be able to drive it again as it has been down for about 3 1/2 years.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

What rear gear are you running? That's one of the trannys on my possibility list..
Congrats on getting yours back on the road.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I have a 3.73 with 30x9.50x15 tires
Thanks it's great to drive it again

Thanks for looking!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I'm sure not everybody is a fan of this look but I like the way the pipes turned out.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

That may not be what I would necessarily do...but I like it. It shows some ingenuity and personal preference....always a good thing.
Its good to be different...nice job!

All Good
